IEEE MASS 2010 Student Travel Support

该项目为参加将于2010年11月第一周举行的第7届IEEE移动自组织和传感器系统（MASS）国际会议的学生提供旅费支持。MASS在很短的时间内（6年）已经成为一个重要的国际技术场所，并以高质量的工作吸引了来自世界各地的与会者。该会议在为信息交流提供一个极好的论坛方面已经获得了突出的地位。2010年，第七届MASS将于11月的第一周在美国加州旧金山举行。由于距离硅谷相当近，MASS 2010有望吸引学术界和工业界创纪录的参与。由于NSF的支持，麻省理工学院能够为所有以前的场地提供学生旅行补助金。提供旅行补助金非常有效地实现了鼓励学生参加技术会议的目标，特别是对贫困学生群体而言。除了主会议之外，mass2010还将举办几个研讨会和一个演示/海报环节。无论学生计划走什么样的职业道路，参加这些活动都是他们教育和培训的重要组成部分。

This project provides travel support for students to attend the 7th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems (MASS) to be held during the first week of November 2010. MASS has become a premier international technical venue in a very short period of time (6 years) and has been featuring work of excellent quality attracting attendees from all over the world. The conference has already gained its prominence in providing a superb forum for information exchange. In 2010, the seventh edition of MASS will take place in San Francisco, California, USA during the first week of November. By being located fairly close to the Silicon Valley, MASS 2010 promises to attract record participation from academia and industry. For all its previous venues, MASS has been able to provide student travel grants thanks to NSF's support. Making travel grants available has been very effective in accomplishing the goal of encouraging student participation in technical meetings, especially in the case of under-privileged student populations. Besides the main conference, several workshops and a demo/poster session will take place as part of MASS 2010. Student participation in such events is a critical part of their education and training no matter what career path they plan to take.
